Method and electronic device for controlling dynamic map-type graphic interface

Abstract

A dynamic map-type graphic interface includes a number of user interface (UI) components. Each UI component is associated with one corresponding application program of the electronic device. The dynamic map-type graphic interface is a single-layer graphic interface made up of the UI components spliced together and centered around a center of the dynamic map-type graphic interface. A partial region of the dynamic map-type graphic interface corresponding to a size of a display unit of the electronic device is displayed on the display unit and centered around a display center of the dynamic map-type graphic interface.
